Abstract

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of cardiovascular mortality in Ukraine. The incidence of CHD has increased under the influence of war-related factors. Data from the EUROASPIRE IV and V studies indicate low adherence to treatment in accordance with ESC clinical guidelines. To address this issue, integrating pharmacists into primary and secondary healthcare has been proposed. It is essential to study the perspectives of all stakeholders in the treatment process regarding the role of pharmacists in improving adherence to CHD treatment in patients with comorbid conditions. Purpose. To assess the impact of pharmacists on adherence to CHD treatment in patients with comorbid conditions in Ukraine. An online survey (n = 999) was conducted using Google Forms, targeting all participants in the treatment process (CHD patients with comorbid conditions, pharmacists, and physicians) from unoccupied territories of Ukraine. Pharmacists' involvement significantly improved adherence to pharmacotherapy, demonstrating a 22-fold increase in treatment adherence among patients who received consultations from both physicians and pharmacists (OR = 22.67, p = 0.000).
